Description:
SCRATCH provides services which relieve the effects of hardship, disadvantage and poverty for individuals and families living in Southampton and the surrounding area. This includes:

• Furnish to Florish providing good quality furniture and household items
• helping individuals and families who need to move in an emergency for reasons such as domestic violence, racial harassment or ill health
